My asshattery, let me show you it.
May. 3rd, 2008 04:16 pmReach for the barf bags, friends. This is going to be a disgusting ride.
So, we have this lawyer in Norway. If you've read my LJ a while, you might remember him from Norway's 'Pocket Man' pedophile case, wherein he described young buys being forced to give oral sex to middle-aged men as 'peanuts'. (Incidentally, he got fired from that job recently.)
Now, Staff has decided to regale all us lucky Norwegians who share a country with him with his opinions about Josef Fritzl, the man who kept his daughter trapped in a cellar for 24 years, raped her, fathered her seven children and disgusted a whole world. But not Staff. No no.
In Staff's own words, translated by yours truly:
He is nothing special, just a bit extreme maybe. We all have Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in us.(...)
He makes a fortress, but within the fortress cosy surroundings are sough. It looks like an all right, bit low-roofed apartment, with considerable care for coziness. (...) It's not a prison (...) This is a small home. (...)
He saved three of his children from the basement. That's an expression of care (...)
In many ways he's a man that guards his family. (...)
I would thank God if I got the assignment [to defend him]
WHAT WHAT WHAT. I'm sorry, maybe my Dr. Jekyll isn't booted up this afternoon, but WHAT. Controlling, terrorizing and *raping* members of your own family is so far from guarding it's on the opposite side. A home? Nothing special? Let me try to make sense of this.
...
Nope, you're still batshit! Granted, the guy has Issues, as revealed by his own claim to have had sexual encounters at 11 with older men and finding them "damn nice". He also things age of consent should be 12 and blames a 'victim industry' on feminists. (But of course.) So, this is hardly the first time he's been revolting and I can see something's gone fucked in his head.
But dude, THIS IS BATSHIT. Why is there batshit in my country? EW EW.
In summary:
Dear Staff,
REBOOT YOUR BRAIN OR STFU. OMG STFU.
No love,
Norway
And also I think London's new mayor is kinda scary.

Personally I want to know why Fritzl's wife, who from what I understand, lived in the same house as he and his locked-up daughter, never said anything along the lines of "wow, gee, you really disappear into that basement a lot. What's good?"
Remarkable that someone like that is in Norway. Deepest sympathies from someone, who has Phelps in her country.

Date: 2008-05-03 03:07 pm (UTC)And I too find it hard to imagine the wife never wondered, but of course, we don't know the details. I don't know. The whole case is made of such massive fucked-upness.

I didn't know you had David Lynch as a lawyer in Norway. And this isn't meant as an insult to Lynch, but, but, but... I'm at a loss of words here.

Half way through dinner someone got a text saying that Boris won. We all erupted in screams of disgust. I'm so glad I'm leaving London for university. The man is an imbecile.

I feel bad saying this because I'm blonde and blue eyed, but something about him looks "off"... I'm suspecting the blue eyes on white-ish skin and bleach blonde hair. *shrug* Hopefully he's a good mayor for them.
As for Norway, WHY, may I ask, is this man still even allowed to tack lawyer or better yet "citizen of Norway" anywhere near his name? UGH.

i understand that as a lawyer it's his duty to defend his clients. but to CONDONE their actions?
i'm sorry that norway has to deal with sort of crazy nonsense.
hopefully your weekend isn't too full of batshit. have a good one :o)

Date: 2008-05-03 10:00 pm (UTC)Fritzl was actually previously convicted for rape (somewhen in the sixties), and for some unknown and insane reason his criminal record was removed. When he tried to "adopt" his own children, a closer look and a still existing record might have made the authorities in question much more distrustful and cauteous.
There were two female neighbors who knew about the previous rapes of Elisabeth before she vanished in the cellar (she tried to escape several times and made it to Vienna, but was brought back into the care of her "loving" father). But the women were too afraid of Fritzl to witness and save the poor girl from the ordeal of the next 24 years.
Sometimes I look at mankind and downright despair.
no subject
Date: 2008-05-03 10:38 pm (UTC)That's just... So fucked up. We have to do something about the lack of reporting of rapes, for fuck's sake. This is just not acceptable.
I feel ill now.

F.
At this point, it's clear that the lawyer has become just as delusional as Fritzl's wife.
Oblivious lawyer is oblivious?
And oh dear, I miss London's last mayer dearly, even if he was a huge bore... But I must say, this Mr. Johnson does provide a comparable, perhaps even more hilarious, alternative to the President Bush Bushisms calendar.
